I saw that one last night on another video, but I wasn't in the mood to post it.

Thanks for doing it!

At 42 seconds into the following video, CSXT AC44CW #70 has a 1st gen K5HL:

CN 2655 has an all-bells-forward K3[L]:

Caught CSX 438 last night with a K5HLL on it,

That's actually common. I caught 2 CN SD75I's both with all bells forward K3L's,

Anyway, here's UP 8637 with I guess what you would call a K5LLL,

A unit with a famous number gets a horn change!

UP SD70ACe #8444 now has a 2nd gen K5[H]L:

Here's some more about that one.
The 5471 had a 1st generation K5[H]L (1, 1L, 2, 3, & 4A bells) which was, somewhere along the way, converted to a rearward facing K5[H]A; the 1L & 3 bells were replaced with 5 & 3A bells.

That sounds more like a Canadian-tuned K3[L] to me.
